Floki, a prominent player in the cryptocurrency space, has announced its support for the upcoming launch of the $MONKY memecoin. 

This new token is the brainchild of Forj, a subsidiary of Animoca Brands, is et to launch on November 21, 2024. The $MONKY project is backed by strategic partnerships with some of the biggest names in the crypto world, including Bored Ape Yacht Club and ApeCoin.

The Vision Behind $MONKY

$MONKY draws inspiration from a timeless cultural symbol, The Three Wise Monkeys—"See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil.” $MONKY seeks to embody the collective power of the community, building a project that encourages critical thinking, resilience, and responsible communication in the world of Web3.

“We’re thrilled to announce that Floki will support the launch of Wise Monkey ($MONKY), a memecoin inspired by the globally recognized 'Three Wise Monkeys' proverb,” Floki said in a statement. 

In a space often dominated by fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD), the $MONKY token promotes principles like:

• See No FUD: Resisting the temptation to believe in fear-driven narratives.

• Hear No Rumors: Embracing critical thinking and not falling prey to unverified information.

• Speak No Hype: Communicating responsibly and not inflating expectations.

Cultural Relevance of the Three Wise Monkeys

The “Three Wise Monkeys” are widely regarded as one of the earliest examples of a meme. Their simple yet powerful message—urging individuals to avoid evil through the senses of sight, hearing, and speech—has transcended time and cultures. 

Originating from Japanese carvings, the proverb has been adapted and referenced in political cartoons, pop culture, and social media. Figures like U.S. President Bill Clinton and celebrities like Neymar and Kim Kardashian have incorporated the monkeys into their public personas.

Now, $MONKY aims to capture this cultural momentum in the digital age. By drawing on the historical significance of the proverb, the $MONKY token seeks to offer a modern adaptation for the Web3 era.
